I was so impressed with Kodiak Cake's dark chocolate pancake mix that I returned to target and splurged on the crunchy peanut butter, too. It was on sale though so how could I not!?
This time I didn't follow the directions and used way less water which helped the pancakes turn out like actual pancakes (not crepes). They were very thick, moist, and had an excellent texture with the occasional crunch of peanut! This being said, they're not sweet at all and for that reason if you're torn between the two I would suggest the dark chocolate which has chocolate chips to sweeten it a bit. This one would be better I'm sure with syrup, but all I had on me was cajeta and it still wasn't as sweet as I'd like.
Still, very good and filling and no weird aftertaste. A solid pancake base with a lot of potential and you could easily get really creative with it. Great ingredients and I give it a 7/10 but the dark chocolate is still a 9/10 to me as long as you use less water than the mix suggests!

Yum those look good! I don't eat a lot of pancakes, but I might have to make an exception.

I got the diet coke slurpee! Was YUMMY! I used to eat slurpees all the time as a kid. I am glad they finally came out with a diet coke one.

Tried this caramel peanut butter, was delicious!!! I was hoping they would of sent me some of the other flavors, but they send me this one to try. I would buy again. I like a lot better than pb2. The caramel flavor tastes really good with the peanut butter, almost reminds me of a butterfinger taste. Really good!

I ordered it. Seemed pretty mild to me and didn't taste much of caramel... how did you use it? I put mine in oatmeal, that might be why? Taste-wise it definitely seemed similar to PB2.

I made it into a "syrup" and drizzled it over baked apples with truvia, so I could taste it more perhaps(used 2 servings)? I thought it tasted a lot better than PB2 with a nice caramel taste. Maybe the oatmeal dilutes it a bit.

i have a ton of the Quest Labs products, but so far I have tried the following -

Blueberry Muffin protein bar - LOVED and ordered an entire box
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip protein bar - meh... wouldn't buy again, nothing special
Rocky Road protein bar - also LOVED, would order again, but didn't need 2 boxes at the moment

Waffle protein crunch bar - i liked this alot, but it made my teeth feel weird afterwards... almost like it was TOO sugary (it has 10g of sugar if anyone is wondering).

KetoBar Milk Chocolate bar - i had this last night after doing sprints... considering their original Cravings peanut butter cups are absolutely horrendous, i actually enjoyed this bar and its great for people who are doing LCHF diet.

It's been a year, but I finally decided to pick up one of Ben and Jerry's Core pints, Speculoo. My first impression wasn't great. I paired a serving with that was left of Dryer's California Almond Crunch. The flavors did not go well together.

I had it alone today and had a better time with it, but still wasn't impressed. The cookies aren't great and too big.

My husband is a huge fan of spekulatius, so I figured it was a sure thing when I picked up the B&J Speculoo. Er no. The ice cream was meh and the cookie butter thread running through there was just way too rich. We ended up throwing it out. TBH, I haven't come across a B&J flavor yet where I could absolutely say it was worth the calories and didn't end up throwing out without finishing. To me, the king of sky high calorie ice creams still is HD's White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. So good.

I recently tried this ketchup. I had high hopes, but man was it not good at all and made even worse curry ketchup:



I was kind of wary of completely fat free regular mayo, so never bought it. However, I stumbled upon some reviews for this on Amazon that were rave, so I broke down and paid more than I wanted to for a jar of this:



And what do you know, it is not that bad. On first impression, tasted a bit like Miracle Whip, but when I ate a bit more, it somehow tasted far more like traditional mayo. Weird, but yeah, I would definitely buy this again (hopefully with a coupon next time...) for my salads and poke. Can't argue with 10 cals for 16g.

It looks like the filling of a regular Snickers. I'd actually love a protein Snickers Crisper.

That sounds promising.
You know those weird hard little rice crispie like things that can be found in say, Special K protein bars or fibre one? I have a hard time getting those down due to the texture. I'd prefer actual crisped rice.
